THERE'S where we need to be "recruiting"...In "FLYING" , "Emergency
Medical Services", the various military papers (NAVY Times, ARMY Times, AF
Times), "Field and Stream", etc. Throw the occassional ad into "Boy's
Life",
and the science related magazines I noted earlier and a few (such as your
Astronomy field) that I am sure others can come up with.

Hmmmmm???

Steve, good point. Flying, RC model airplane, model rocketry, GPS,
any type of military or public service (LE, fire, EMS), but also
electronics hobbyists and careerists.

Not your usual skateboarders and glue sniffers.

Speaking of glue sniffers, we just had a full arrest on a 15 year old who
waas huffing glue and paint...What's up with these kids...?!?!

Anyway...Thanks Brian...Maybe a letter to the ARRL suggesting this...?!?!

Pardon me if I skip the URL'.s...Hard to tell what might get imported.

As always,

And, as always you have demonstrated a strong "Do As I say, Not Do As I Do"
practice, Hans.

It's perfectly OK for you to be insinuating, snide, assinine or
distruptive, but you certainly don't like it tossed back at you.

Why am I not surprised?

Two big problems:

1) Stop calling it "ham radio" as that is actually a derrogatory term. One
origin of it is from 19th century telegraphy where POOR telegraph operators were
called "hams." Only the truly ignorant really believe the story that it was
from the initials of the operators of one of the more popular (east coast)
stations.

2) Impose a requirement where one's weight (in pounds) may not exceed one's IQ.
There are just too many fat people in the hobby, and one may think that it's
called "ham radio" because all the people in it are PIGS (literally).

Good to see that someone else realizes that the term "ham" radio is
derrogatory.

2)

I've noticed that also.

Oh my gawsh! Looks like time for a new round of fat smelly, go on a
dxpedition and have the nerve to operate radios and club members not
doing what we want stuff, eh Steve?


Anyhow, welcome back Vipul, I hope you're doing well.
